Affairs of The Heart lyrics

She looked at me across the roomEmerging from a silk cocoonAlong beneath venetian chandeliersAgainst the moon her body rocksHer eyes were cunning like a foxThe wings of passion fly on all frontiers

From this fire there's no returningNo escape your heart is burningLove becomes a lethal weaponNo one is to smartIn affairs of the heart

Now upon the bridge she waitsDreaming of our tangled fatesHer face was like a ghost with eyes of jadeI fell just like a falling starA victim of this coup d'etatI could not see behind this masquerade

From this fire there's no returningNo escape your heart is burningLove becomes a leathal weaponBe careful where you startIn affairs of the heart

Sometimes I think I'll never learnWere all those promises in vainDo the wings of fire still remain

All is fair in love and warThe tender draw the shortest strawLike autumn leaves they vanish in the airIs this the time we say good-byeI call her room there's no replyTonight we end this fleeting love affair

From this fire there's no returningNo escape your heart is burningLove becomes a leathal weaponSharper than a dartIn affairs of the heart
